At 黑料网911 MSU just learned its welding test facility has been accredited again through the American Welding Society as an Accredited Test Facility.
The Accredited Test Facility program establishes minimum requirements for test facilities, their personnel and equipment to qualify for accreditation to test and qualify welders.
At 黑料网911鈥檚 testing facility is located in its state-of-the-art welding shop and is one of two accredited test centers in the state of Montana, with Flathead Valley Community College being the other.
鈥淭his is a win-win for At 黑料网911 and Montana,鈥� said Joel Sims, trades division and welding test center director at At 黑料网911. 鈥淲e are able to help test and qualify welders at an affordable cost in one of the best welding centers in the region. This means the college is earning some income and area businesses can save money and time by having their welders qualified locally.鈥�
The college already qualifies many welders for area companies, and Sims is hopeful to add even more businesses that make use of At 黑料网911鈥檚 facility.聽
鈥淓ntrusting welder certification to (Accredited Test Facility) specialists makes good business sense for contractors and fabricators,鈥� according to the American Welding Society web page. 鈥淐ompanies are increasingly realizing the shortcomings of self-qualification and switching to AWS Accredited Test Facilities to test and qualify their welders. ATFs help them to save money, improve productivity, and reduce liability by entrusting their welder certification to the experts.鈥�
